  Someone has seen a wolf. Where did it come from? How many are there? Someone must be able to do something about them. Otherwise, how will our children get to school? And how will we all get to line-dancing in the village hall?
  Set over one extraordinary day in an ordinary village, Wolves Are Coming For You is a play for two actors – or many more – exploring just how much wild we're comfortable with.
  Joel Horwood's play was first performed in a co-production between Pentabus Theatre Company and Everyman Theatre Cheltenham in 2017, on a tour of the UK.

  Nothing slips by Brecken Hancock’s deft ear as she seductively plumbs the depths of the evolution of bathing, doppelgängers, the Kraken and the minutiae of family with all its tragic misgivings. The poems in Broom Broom pervert the rational, safe parts of the world to extoll and absorb the sweep of human history.

  "In much of the best contemporary poetry, beauty of thought is at least as important as beauty of language. Carl Phillips, here reading his own Pulitzer Prize-winning collection, has an ample supply of both, but it is the thinking behind each poem that makes it possible for the language to have power." - AudioFileWINNER OF THE 2023 PULITZER PRIZE IN POETRYA new collection of poems from one of America’s most essential, celebrated, and enduring poets, Carl Phillips's Then the WarI’m a song, changing. I’m a light rain falling through a vast darkness toward a different darkness.Carl Phillips has aptly described his work as an “ongoing quest”; Then the War is the next step in that meaningful process of self-discovery for both the poet and his reader. The new poems, written in a time of rising racial conflict in the United States, with its attendant violence and uncertainty, find Phillips entering deeper into the landscape he has made his own: a forest of intimacy, queerness, and moral inquiry, where the farther we go, the more difficult it is to remember why or where we started. Then the War includes a generous selection of Phillips’s work from the previous thirteen years, as well as his recent lyric prose memoir, “Among the Trees,” and his chapbook, Star Map with Action Figures.Ultimately, Phillips refuses pessimism, arguing for tenderness and human connection as profound forces for revolution and conjuring a spell against indifference and the easy escapes of nostalgia. Then the War is luminous testimony to the power of self-reckoning and to Carl Phillips as an ever-changing, necessary voice in contemporary poetry.

  Experience this InAudio unabridged presentation of The Tempest by William Shakespeare.The Tempest is a beautiful and sweeping drama by William Shakespeare, and is one of the Bard’s last plays. With a role written as a farewell to the theater, this emotional drama is a beautiful testament to Shakespeare’s talents as a storyteller and writer. The play centers around Prospero, a usurped ruler and powerful sorcerer who lives out his days on a remote island with little humans to interact with. Prospero seeks his revenge on his brother by causing his ship to wreck on his island, and the adventure of the play begins. The story contains many of Shakespeare’s favorite tropes: magical and devilish spirits, a passionate and exciting romance, and a powerful look at the results of seeking justice and vengeance–all wrapped up in beautiful poetry, such as a soliloquy that doubles as Shakespeare’s ode to his own career.
